Amish Won't Comply with County
Several Cattaraugus County Amish families say they will not comply with the health department's regulations concerning disposal of raw sewage.
They say the health department is discriminating against them, by telling them they have to use wooden traps specially designed for them.
The department has fined three families, who filed appeals based on their religious beliefs.
The appeals have been denied and the families have been given until October 26 to install compliant septic systems.
